Mastering the Techniques of Teaching, 2nd Edition

"Masterfully balancing the practitioner's need for concrete
suggestions and the scholar's quest for intriguing ideas, this book
offers tips to be tried in class tomorrow and ideas to be mused on
for months."
--Maryellen Weimer, professor, Penn State University-Berks
Campus

"I have used the first edition of Joe Lowman's book for years and
found it most helpful. The new edition is a must for teachers and
faculty developers."
--Milt Cox, University Director for Teaching Effectivness Programs,
Miami University

In this second edition of his classic resource, Joseph Lowman
expands on his earlier model of effective teaching to place greater
emphasis on motivational skill and commitment to teaching. He
presents a practical new learning model that compares six sources
of influence on what and how students learn in a college course.
All types of teachers and instructors will discover options on how
to organize classes and use group work to promote learning. They
will also find a checklist for assessing their classroom
performance on video, detailed instructions for using video
analysis to improve their technique, and an innovative approach to
evaluating their overall performance.

JOSEPH LOWMAN is professor of psychology and assistant dean of arts and sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has won several awards for his own teaching and serves on the editorial boards of Teaching of Psychology, Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, and College Teaching.

"Lowman's book has it all. Excellent suggestions for active
learning, a conceptual model for guiding teaching practices, and
research results that nicely support the ideas for enhancing
teaching that he advocates.... The best book I've read in a long
time on college teaching." (Anthony F. Grasha, professor,
Department of Psychology, University of Cincinnati)

"Lowman has somehow managed to preserve the best of his original
edition while adding important and relevant new material. I am
confident that this edition will be as well received by my students
as the first edition has been--something that does not happen
often." (James O. Hammons, professor, College of Education,
Educational Leadership, Counseling and Foundations, University of
Arkansas)
